Learning through interactive whiteboards

Teachers should use digital technology like interactive whiteboards if they want students to get engaged in the learning process in a fun way. It has been scientifically proven that the students who learn through ICT solutions grasp even difficult concepts much more easily than the students who learn lessons using traditional technologies. It has also been noticed that the use of Visualiser helps students to visualise topics and situations and improve there analytical abilities. Mr. Amit Sinha one of the teacher from Wolverhampton (UK) who took part in the last year project on ICT products said “You should have seen the excitement of the students when they were shown the brand new digital-whiteboard being installed into there classroom as part of the classroom of the future program. They were touching the display screen of the whiteboard, holding the marker pen (which they called the magic pen). One of the most useful digital resources we came across was ‘whiteboard lessons’. We also bought one interactive whiteboard-game which teaches students how to perform simple arithmetic operations like additions, subtraction, multiplications and divisions. Our competitors have been using these ICT products for years to share learning resources like lesson plans. Through electronic-whiteboards one can take virtual tours of outer space, galaxies or places which are hard to reach like Death Valley. We are also planning to purchase 500 different types of classroom furniture for our new science classes. As an educator it is our responsibility to redesign schools to develop classroom for the future
